Thanks Marco it is fun! I like to follow your builds as well such small scale modeling of your vessels. My own techniques are a bit more crude at times, but the idea is to get a solid strong fair hull, this one is looking better in that regard than my past two sailing ships (both of which need some rigging, but thanks to info sent from Hudsonduster I can pretty much see the Tuft completed in my mind)
The studying involved to learn the differences in sailing ships of different eras is fun for me, they may look similar but the details vary tremendously something the old hands at shipbuilding know, but most new to me.
